While working on the computer this afternoon, I also turned on 'The Steel Trap'.
I knew about the vintage New Orleans locations in the movie, but was completely surprised by the Los Angeles locations.
The shot of the Pacific Electric Terminal entrance (shown at the beginning & end of the movie) was great.
In one brief indoor scene you can see the entrance to the Garland Building across the street.
